1966 Olympia SM9 Serial # 2984784 1966 Olympia SM9 typewriter, Serial # 2984784 Rolf Boone's 1966 Olympia SM9 typewriter. 2018-02-17 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Rolf Boone: 1966 Olympia SM9 Serial # 2984784 You know you've got typewriter fever when you're back at the thrift store looking for another machine, just days after securing a nifty script typeface typer. But for $25 (typewriter and case) I couldn't pass it up. Needed a good cleaning and a new ribbon, but otherwise works well. The word that comes to mind is "solid." It feels durable.
